Faux Vows, True Desires

After breaking their passionate kiss, Cecilia quickly pushed Owen away and got out of the car. Leaning against the car, she took a moment to catch her breath.

That was one memorable kiss.

Owen had skills that almost made her want to pounce on him.

His tall figure loomed over her.

Cecilia looked up into Owen's soulful eyes and instinctively covered her mouth.

Her gesture seemed to please Owen, and he chuckled, "Giving up? Scared?"

"Not at all. We're at your place, and it would be embarrassing if someone saw us," Cecilia retorted.

She wasn't about to admit defeat.

Before Owen could make another move, she took his arm and said, "Come on, show me all the presents you've got for me."

Owen loved her forwardness, feeling as if he were walking on air.

The grand house was ablaze with lights, making the inside as bright as day.

The butler, along with a handful of servants and the chauffeur, came out to greet them, lining up at the entrance.

"Sir, Ma'am."

Cecilia had long given up on correcting the Martinez family's servants for calling her "Ma'am."

It was as if they were oblivious to the fact that she and Owen were divorced.
